Train Like a Professional: How Human Performance Impacts CQB

This course will cover professionalism and specificity of training for how human performance should be customized for the LE special operations community. It will cover the benefits of how human performance can enhance operations success while minimizing the risk of injury. The human performance material will cover techniques for both the gym and the range. The course will highlight a commonly missed piece in the tactical community, how to directly apply human performance functionality to the shooting range, to better enhance operational success. Data and objective information will be provided, showing statistically how a team can implement dynamic shooting into their range work to perform at a higher level. In addition, videos of OIS and live operations will show the direct application of dynamic shooting application. This course was built off of research from special operations units from military, federal, and local units. Correlations were found between how teams train on the range and their speed and accuracy during CQB fundamentals. In addition, the correlation between how an operator trains in the gym, and how he/she applies these fitness components to their shooting. We will break down this data, and teach how to apply these tactics to an individual, team, and unit level.
